Long was never expected to be a part of Houston's long-term plans, so this move isn't surprising at all. He might be able to snag a training camp deal elsewhere, but it's unlikely Long will find himself in a situation that makes him a relevant name in fantasy hoops. Tue, Sep 26, 2017 05:02:00 PM

Shawn Long was traded to the Rockets for cash and a 2018 second-round pick.

Sam Hinkie would be proud of picking up a second-round pick here. Long did actually play well late last season, averaging 8.2 points and 4.7 boards during his 18 games with the 76ers. The Rockets are probably going to cut or move him again. Wed, Jun 28, 2017 03:53:00 PM

Shawn Long dropped off on Thursday, shooting 2-of-9 from the field for four points, eight rebounds and zero assists, 3-pointers or defensive stats in 12 minutes.

Richaun Holmes was solid as a starter, posting 10 points, 10 boards, two assists, two steals and one block, while soaking up 31 minutes. Long's own inefficiency did him in tonight, but he came in shooting a sparkling 64.3 percent on the season, including a combined 7-of-13 mark from deep. Expect better vs. the Bucks' frontcourt on Saturday. Thu, Apr 6, 2017 09:59:00 PM
